First Oil Change on GSX S1000 GT - 600 Mile USED WRONG TORQUE SETTINGS AT FIRST

[@bladecentered2264]

I mistakenly said the drain blot torque was 29ft/lbs, it's 16.5ft/lbs

You are smarter than me. I have been pouring oil all over my exhaust forever my 05 gsxr750 is the same design as my 22 gsxs1000gt.I would just spray it with brake cleaner but it still leaves some that burns off. I will definitely use the aluminum foil trick.

[@ianmalleau3398]

Very nice bike! Got jealous so I just ordered one for myself.. 2023 MY. Thanks for all the info guys. I'll be using the Amsoil full synthetic signature series on mine after 500mi. My 2015 FJ09 has never even needed any valve adjustments through 2 intervals.. Good quality synth makes a big difference for sure in my experience!

[@pryme2013]

That’s car oil. Not meant for wet clutch use. Get the metric motorcycle oil.

[@kevingilbaugh6278]

This was very helpful. I agree on staying with stock filter.

[@patking4928]

Nice Vid! Looks like the same oil filter my GSX 1000FA uses. Sweet!

[@redhytech]

most Suzuki bikes use the same oil filter. my SV650 used the same one, my GSX-S750 used the same one, my Katana 1000 used the same one, now the GSX-S1000 Gt uses the same one. the oil filter is also listed as fitting the Haybusa as well as many other bikes. and if you want to know the truth.. I've use one on my riding lawn mower. why not, it fit and it works,, lol

[@masterjim69]

You can buy an oil drain pan with a screen and cover to catch the bolt from auto parts stores, and just take the whole pan to recycle. I got mine from Kragen (now O’Reilley’s Auto Parts). Also K&N and Hi-Flo have filters with a 17mm hex bolt pre-drilled for a safety wire. I just hand tighten the oil filter and use safety wire.

[@geminiwhim141]

Perfect Video thank you so much for the effort!

[@redhytech]

forgot to mention the clip pin on the inside. directly below the LEFT handle bar close to where the top 2, 4mm screws are. you have to reach into where the handle bars are. i did my first oil change on my GSX-S1000 GT and I did not know about that clip pin. what a pain in the ass.

[@jaybrooks4242]

Very informative video, thank you. Does this affect the warranty at all or what's reported to CarFax? Is that even a thing for motorcycles? For example, if you do your own service on new cars, then you may void the limited lifetime warranty of the power train, according to a new car dealer we bought from.

[@cyriously_nick2191]

Doing your own service doesn’t get reported to carfax? Might void warranty but usually it doesn’t unless a failure happens from that oil change (ie: you didn’t tighten the filter properly, engine seized they wouldn’t fix the seized engine, or if you used the wrong viscosity and that caused another failure)

[@leroy420b]

If you keep receipts and documents of what and when you do your own servicing you won't void most warranties

[@-robster-robster-]

why the mineral r5000 this time then fully synthetic r9000 next service? curious as im wondering which oil to order . i see the book says recommend ecstar 10/40 r5000 r7000 or r9000 so id prefer to go for the r9000 as its technically the most advanced. Weirdly all my local suzuki dealers (and honda dealers) stock and use motul oils , im starting to over think oil choices but i just want the best suited for my bike and want it to suit nice gear changes and clutch feel. oh and also want to see if one or other can address the hot start rattle that seems oil related to either valve shims or cam chain tensioner, hope i can notice a difference as i have this annoyance some of the time

[@stuartessenhigh2793]

I can't tell from the picture. Is it the top left and top middle to jump it or is it top left and top right??

[@bladecentered2264]

Top left and top right

[@cbret1027]

Have you had any issues with the cruise control? Where did you find the jumper info? Did my own oil change at 500 miles. Had the dealer reset it. You can get to the filter with the cap wrench and not have to remove the faring. Nice video!

[@bladecentered2264]

No cruise control had been working good. There's a link to the Facebook group where it has the jumper info in the description box. I think you can get to the filter with the cap wrench without removing the faring but I haven't tried it

[@NotYourIngenue]

I had to take my bike in to get the cruise looked at after it stopped working. Apparently the rear brake switch was dirty and the brake would remain on even though it wasn’t braking. That prevented the cruise from turning on. Also made it look like I was riding my brake all the time. 😖 Once they cleaned that, no issues.

[@cbret1027]

@@NotYourIngenue I narrowed mine to that as well, still shuts off. They have Suzuki involved, I would say the switch is still wrong or the ECM

[@arsiize]

I saw another video about failing cruise control on the new Suzuki GT and the rear brake switch needed a little adjustment. Then the cruise control will work fine again. I have the new Suzuki GT my self and have had no issues about the cruise control.

[@kensmith8161]

Hi, you mention you changed to the taller touring windscreen. I have upgraded to the Puig. How did you get the rubber mounting spacers through both the windscreen and dash. I am finding it hard to do both. I get them through the shield or the dash. But, can't do both. Did you find a trick?

[@bladecentered2264]

I think the spacers just go in the dash and then the windshield on top of them and then the screw and washer

[@MrDarkwarrior29]

Did you tighten the oil drain plug with 29ft/lbs??? That's twice as tight as it's allowed by Suzuki. You're lucky if you didn't destroy the aluminum threads of your oilpan.

[@bladecentered2264]

I can't remember if I did or not, but luckily my oil pan is good, no leaks!

[@3kdn]

Have you tried adjusting your headlights? Not found one video on this on KZbin.

[@01gsx1]

Headlights sucks. I had to adjust mine. Two screws on the back side of the headlights. One for up or down the other left and right.

[@3kdn]

@@01gsx1 Are the adjust screws easy to get to? Had mine set up on a beam setter at the dealers, still far to high and off to the left.

[@CountCraigula]

Did you have cam chain tensioner rattle after your oil change? So many have.

Lucky no, hope they do a recall for those affected

[@petevincent9031]

Hi sir is it possible to sit on seat furture back for much more leaning and sporty riding position or seat always push u forward ? And the second question is , does the bike feel heavy? On twisty roads i like to lean my body out from bike left or right , does it possible on this bike? Im currently using 2022xsr900 and twisty road is very easy with my bike and i can sit on seat furture back and the seat give me permission for it, it doesnt push me front as 2021 mt09 did...what about gsx s1000 gt?

[@01gsx1]

To me doesn't feel heavy. Is a well-balanced smooth bike. The riding position for my height of 5'-8" feels pretty good. The bars they do sit a bit higher than a sport bike. It's meant for touring but has enough horsepower to have fun with it.

[@tr9478]

Where did you order the oil and filter from

[@bladecentered2264]

[@Raiden1225]

Hello, pretty sure your supposed to use full synthetic in this bike. Also you can us a little brake clean to get the oil off your exhaust and it'll dry before you can get your fairing back on. Good luck and enjoy the bike.

[@blandrooker6541]

Page 3-35 in my owner's manual states ECSTAR R5000, R7000 or R9000. They all are recommended.

The recommendations ive seen for it have you run traditional for the first two fills before going to synthetic.
